this is what i was looking fooooooooor!!!! the fixtive spray
I've found when I spray on graphite drawings, it leaves a very fine dotted pattern that gets on my nerves. I don't use them on drawings...just the pastels.
Good hearing from you!
& thats the first time i c ur signiture its soooooo nice i like the awl or the eagle on the top ..what bird is that anyway?
1) Pencil in the hair, get the flow, strands--don't shade with pencil, do light strokes/lines.
2) Now you can go over darkly your pencil outlines with Burnt Umber/Dark Brown prismacolor pencils--make sure they're sharpened.
3) Here's the interesting part...with white acrylic and sometimes white prismacolor pencil, highlight certain areas on the hair.
4) Shade in (Pastels) with mid tone of brown/reddish brown in large highighted areas, then the dark shadowed areas. Do a blending...like a shine, stroke (in direction of hair) with tissue paper, stumps or tortillas (bad spelling)...now I'm a bad girl, sometimes I use my finger...bad girl-that can leave grease stains.
5) Almost all the time, I do the hair as the last or next to last thing. I get a full layer of coloring it in, making it look real---then I spray with Krylon's fixitive art spray. I may cover background (with paper) that's uncolored so spray won't land on it...but, sometimes I get lazy...sigh!
6) I check out the special effects-like that burnish red color popping out, then I do another layer of pastels/color pencils to bring out the details. It's fun and
